Great Place for Sales, Frustrating Dead-End for Technologists

Anonymous employee

CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Culture: Truly inclusive and welcoming. Longevity: People stay here for decades, which creates a stable environment and a strong sense of community.

Cons

Leadership Mismatch: The company puts Sales people in charge of Engineering/Technical departments. Lack of Strategy: Because leadership lacks technical expertise, there is no cohesive strategy, forward-thinking planning, or understanding of what technical teams actually do. Box-Pusher Mentality: The company has not outgrown its logistics/reselling roots. Not for Innovators: If you want to work on the bleeding edge of tech, you will be stifled here.

Pros

Work/life balance , WFH flexibility is all they have going for them.

Cons

Declining culture. Any perks there used to be to working here are gone. Lack of transparency. Changes happening every time you turn around . Not all managers have to go through the manager training program , Seems to be more about who you know . Managers also just tell You what you want here. Not the truth. I do not recommend working here .
